I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Verily (Boston, MA) in Feb 2024
Interview
The role's qualifications specified 3 years of experience, but I was invited to interview regardless. The recruiter gave me a timeline that included a "phone interview" and then "onsite interviews", but after applying I was invited to a 45-minute technical interview over Zoom, and I signed an NDA (that was mostly about protecting trade secrets of the company that I was currently employed at during the interview process). I was interviewed by a software engineer at the company on a DSA problem. They did not invite me back nor provide feedback after the interview.
